sustainable or “green” projects through analysis of land use, drainage patterns, materials, quantities, energy use,
and lighting in a digital model. The segment’s principal product offerings included the following during fiscal
2009:
ŠAutodesk Revit Products
Purpose-built for BIM, the Autodesk Revit products collect information about a building project and
coordinate this information across all other representations of the project so that every drawing sheet, 2D and 3D
view and schedule is based on internally consistent and complete information from the same underlying building
database. The Autodesk Revit products, including AutoCAD Revit Architecture Suite, AutoCAD Revit MEP
Suite and AutoCAD Revit Structure Suite, provide an intuitive state-of-the-art model-based design and
documentation system for architects; mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) engineers; structural engineers;
design-build teams; and other design and building industry professionals.
ŠAutoCAD Architecture
Designed for architects and built on the AutoCAD platform, AutoCAD Architecture software supports
existing 2D design practices while enabling users to gradually introduce increasingly powerful industry-specific
features to gain efficiency and improve coordination. It offers flexibility in implementation and collaboration,
using industry-leading DWG technology, the efficiency of real-world building objects and AutoCAD-based
design and documentation productivity for architects.
ŠAutoCAD Civil 3D
AutoCAD Civil 3D provides a surveying, design, analysis, and documentation solution for civil engineering,
including land development, transportation, and environmental projects. Using a model-centric approach that
automatically updates documentation as design changes are made, AutoCAD Civil 3D enables civil engineers,
designers, drafters, and surveyors to significantly boost productivity and deliver higher-quality designs and
construction documentation faster. With AutoCAD Civil 3D, the entire project team works from the same
consistent, up-to-date model so they stay coordinated throughout all project phases.
MSD
MSD accounted for 21% of overall net revenue in fiscal 2009. The segment provides the manufacturing
industry with comprehensive design, data management and digital prototyping solutions, enabling customers to
rapidly adopt 3D model-based design, create and validate designs in a simple 2D or 3D environment, and manage
designs from the conceptual design phase through the manufacturing phase. The segment’s principal product
offerings included the following during fiscal 2009:
ŠAutodesk Inventor Products
Autodesk Inventor products, including Autodesk Inventor Suite and Autodesk Inventor Professional
products, account for a majority of MSD’s revenue. The Autodesk Inventor products deliver software for 2D
drawing and detailing, Inventor software, and data management software in one solution. Inventor software is a
3D mechanical design creation tool that provides users a 3D assembly-centric solid modeling system and 2D
drawing production system together with digital prototyping functionality. Customers who purchase Autodesk
Inventor Professional products have access to a comprehensive, integrated design solution that combines
Inventor software, AutoCAD Mechanical, data management, stress analysis and dynamic simulation.
ŠAutoCAD Mechanical
AutoCAD Mechanical software offers purpose-built 2D mechanical design and engineering tools that are
seamlessly compatible with all AutoCAD-based applications. AutoCAD Mechanical accelerates the mechanical
design process by providing standards-based libraries of parts and tools for automating design tasks.
